What you’ll learn
I can identify activities that build stamina and understand how this affects the body.
Key learning points
- Move: when performing activities that require stamina, we should try to keep our effort going.
- Move: resting between activities enables us to recover so we can work hard again.
- Think: recognising how hard our body is working can help us decide what effort is needed to keep an activity going.
- Feel: striving to develop your stamina, by trying our best, demonstrates excellent integrity.
- Connect: encouraging others to work hard when performing exercises that develop stamina, motivates everyone to try hard.
Words to know
- stamina
- the ability to keep going without getting too tired or stopping
- intensity
- how hard your body is working when taking part in exercise or activities
- pulse
- the feeling of your heart beating, usually felt in places like your wrist or neck
Common mistakes
Rest is not good for the body as it is the opposite of being active.
Rest is really important to help the body recover, grow, repair and get stronger. However too much time not moving can cause the body to reduce fitness and strength.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Encourage children to recognise when rest might be needed, based upon the intensity they are working at. If they need to rest too frequently they might need to reduce the intensity of the activity.
